A man who died after suffering serious injuries during a disturbance in the Cowcaddens area of the city has been named by police as Francis Carolan, 42, from Dundasvale Court, Cowcaddens.

Police were called to deal with a disturbance on a landing in Dundasvale Court around 9.10pm last night.

When they arrived, officers found Mr Carolan seriously injured. Paramedics were called but sadly he died at the scene.

Officers are treating the death as suspicious and following a definite line of inquiry. A report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.

Detective Inspector Mark Henderson of the Major Investigation Teams commented: "It would appear that there was a disturbance in a flat on the fifth floor of 8 Dundasvale Court involving two people which spilled on to the landing. It's there that the man sustained a fatal injury.

"Officers are still at the scene and carrying out door to door enquiries in the area. I would ask anyone who has information that will help the police investigation to contact Stewart Street Police Office via 101 or Crimestoppers in confidence on 0800 555 111."
